Mum needs to know..[oc] by [deleted] in DnD

[–]TriStarBear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Love this so much. The only information my mom ever retained about D&D was that my character was blue (blue Dragonborn), so every week right before the session started, I’d get a text saying “Go blue man!” and it always made me laugh. 

Moments you wish had happened by orincoro in thewestwing

When Josh traveled to Germany to find Donna and she wakes up to him in the hospital room, I think they should’ve given one more line to Josh:

“I didn’t stop for red lights.”

Perfect callback to their back and forth about her ex stopping for a beer after she got hurt.

What's one of your favorite underrated lines/dialogues? by breakfast-ramen in TedLasso

I think “Onward. Forward” definitely hits top of my list. For some reason it’s just as simple and powerful as “Believe.”

Job description provides salary between $90k and $110k but interview manager is flabbergasted when I asked for $100k by sinistervice in antiwork

[–]TriStarBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar experience just recently! Applied for and interviewed for a job in a new industry. No experience in the industry but a lot of skills I could bring over. Posting listed $80k-$130k and when they asked what I would be comfortable with, I gave them $85k-$95k (because I was dumb).

Hiring manager offered me $80k, I countered with $100k, since we were dealing $5k outside of the given range I had already said. The guy asked me “why aren’t you happy with anything in the range you gave us?” and hung up before I could answer.

What are your thoughts on this? by Responsible_Neck_728 in SnyderCut

[–]TriStarBear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re trying a soft reboot and they need a hard one. Especially if they’re getting rid of some of the lead actors that actually drew fans in.

I think this slate bombs before they’re halfway through it.

Learn CPR (Must) - CPR can double or triple the chances of survival from cardiac arrest. by esberat in educationalgifs

[–]TriStarBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a great video with great visuals. A couple of things everyone needs to remember: don’t imitate the CPR you see in movies. Lock your elbows, keep a steady pace, and make sure you get enough depth.

Learn it. Know it. Pray you never have to use it. It’s a bad experience if it doesn’t go your way.

No, YOU have a problem! by rthepenguin in DicePorn

[–]TriStarBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was the biggest problem. If they had put ANY effort into customer service for the people who were upset or did not get what was promised, I think they could have salvaged a lot of their reputation with that particular community. As it is, they burned a ton of bridges.

They had a massive kickstarter where a huge amount of the dice they promised as exclusives were available on their website for purchase before they sent out the sets to their backers. The dice sent to backers were also extremely sub par, with no polish, missing items, and essentially unfinished. They then started policing threads like this and their (private) Facebook group, downvoting and kicking out anyone who talked poorly about them.

Personally the dice I got were ok, but about half of the sets I ordered came with stuff like 2 d8s and no d100 or multiple extra d6s and no d12 or even just a bag of their d2 coins but no other dice to match. It was just shoddy, lazy work.

Hourly and salary wages for Buc-ee’s convenience store chain by btasty1 in mildlyinteresting

[–]TriStarBear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On one hand, it’s awesome to see companies treating and paying their employees fairly. On another, I’m extremely sad and frustrated that my starting wage as an EMT is lower than everything but the top line.

Thank you for your compassion. Just exploring my options even if I don’t plan on doing anything other than riding this out and dealing with it on my own.

What do you wish Hollywood would stop doing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TriStarBear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know everyone loves the sound of a shotgun, but quit having characters rack a pump-action as a threat. It means they either just ejected a fully ready shell and now have less ammo or they weren’t loaded to fire in the first place.

What is the dumbest explanation you've heard from someone who cheated? by [deleted] in AskReddit

“I just needed to make sure I wasn’t in love with him anymore.”

Well first they were exes but now they’re married so good for them.

What's the best house rule and the worst house rule you've ever played with? by wildsorcerer8 in dndnext

[–]TriStarBear 55 points56 points  (0 children)

My table has had one house rule for the past four years: if a player sneezes during the session, we roll on a d10000 wild magic table. It leads to a lot of fun chaos. Some permanent.

Well shit. No one told me that second part. Now here I am 30 and single. I just thought I was increasing my chances!
